Despite his defensive shortcomings, he’s shown elite shotmaking in the playoffs and is only 24. In my opinion, his ceiling is enormous. I can’t understand why people are praising the Warriors trading him for a 38 year old CP3.

    I wonder how he would’ve played last year if he never got punch, big believer that moment changed something in him.

    Then again, NBA is a business, despite the assault, he’s still an employee of GSW and underperformed to their standard. I hope he prosper in Wiz but time will tell.

    Jordan Poole is the next Dame Lillard. He scored 40 in preseason! That makes him elite

    Bro, poole literally stopped passing the ball in crucial moments. Whatever ceiling he has, when he doesn’t follow the team, he’s gonna get traded

    It will be seen as a bad one for Washington, as they pay him a huge amount of money to suck

    Theres a difference between not knowing your role on a title contender and having the green light on a team with zero expectations.

    Problem with Poole was he doesn’t want to be 2nd to nobody… He hated the fact that he wasn’t always given the green light despite his tendencies for turnovers and bad shot making. He doesn’t want to be a part of a winning system, he wants to be the system… He will flourish in DC, will have his stats bumped up, but that will not translate to winning.

    That’s what you get when you prioritize the bag and ego more than winning.

    I think warriors did their best in this trade. they want to keep a good relationship with poole (all of the teamate told good about him, we can see that from warriors side and even himself did not talk even a bad thing ) then let him go in the easy way. look at the way nets and sixers kept harden right now, I don’t want the relationship in both sides go that way. we can hope in the near future jordan poole will come back to warriors and like the way we used to hope he would become.
